Futurama in the UK - General Discussion - Season 7B airs 2nd November!

[#280 :]

*bump*

Last ep of 6A tonight, we should be getting a DVD/Blu-Ray release by... Xmas 2014.

[#281 :]

No way...That's way to early, Xmas 3014 is more like it 

[#282 :]

So that's it. God knows when we'll get 6B. Most likely next year.

[#283 :]

A Fishful of Dollars and I second that Emotion on Friday.

[#284 :]

Wait, wait, wait, Slurmed just tweeted this:

New #Futurama eps (Season 6A & 6B) air in #Canada on @TeletoonAtNight. Sun, Sept 11, 9:30pm ET (via @ThatAdamGaleGuy) http://fb.me/17vCmPD6K

SO CANADA GETS 6A AND 6B AND WE GET NOTHING. FUCK YOU EVERYONE WHO CAUSED THIS. Also, nice one Canada... ¬_¬

[#285 :]

Ah Come ON!!!

[#286 :]

[#287 :]

So I asked Play about when Volume 5/Season 6A will be released...

Thank you for your email.

The status of Futurama Volume 5 Season 6 is 'not currently available'. This is usually the case when we are waiting for either a release or a re-release date for the item to be provided by our suppliers. Unfortunately we are unable to obtain any more information at the moment but we shall endeavour to update the details on the website as soon as we can.
 
Please accept our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused you and thank you for your valued patience and custom.
 
Kind Regards,

Basically, that could be tomorrow, or months and months away. I once asked about the inFAMOUS 2 Hero Edition like 2-3 weeks before it was available, and they said they had no clue.

[#288 :]

We will probably get it when it's set in modern times...

[#289 :]

AKA 3010...

[#290 :]

We should all go down to the Sky HQ , and protest, so they will air the second part of Season 6

[#291 :]

Oh well, there's always hope...

Ahahahaha

Seriously though, that blows, soz to hear that...

[#292 :]

As I said, importing is for chumps.

[#293 :]

Then I'm a chump with 6A sitting on my shelf available to watch any time at my convenience. I guess being a chump sucks ...

[#294 :]

I was going to create a whole new thread for this but I'll just put it here sense it's technically related to sky 1 but Pick Tv (it used to be called sky 3) are putting on episodes every weekday at 7-8pm starting from season1.

It means that this is the first time in about three years that Freeveiw will get Futurama!

Edit: Seems like there only airing it for 2 weeks...

[#295 :]

Nice!

But still no 6B...

[#296 :]

Oh look, they're showing the four films again. That's new.

[#297 :]

They might want to put 6A out on freeveiw first then after that's finished they will put 6B on sky1?

[#298 :]

I'm 99.8% positive that we'll only get 6B next year.

[#299 :]

It's so pointless, they should show 6B now and show 7A next year like a week after each ep airs in the US. What the fuck are they doing? ...

[#300 :]

Exactly Sky1 are hooked on The Simpsons I mean they Have 5 bloody episodes on there a day. And they're all repeated in about 3 weeks!

Take out one or two and replace it with new Futurama!

[#301 :]

Take out one or two and replace it with new Futurama!

No, three! Bloody Simpsons! They act as if they've shown a billion eps of Futurama:

'Up next it's Futurama, *boring, plain as white description*, enjoy...'

Then with the Simpsons:

'Next up it's the Simpsons, (this is an example) Marge gets in trouble with the police and it's up to Homer to save the day, not the best hero, sounds like a right laugh, enjoy!'

[#302 :]

I don't know if this is true, but Sky says the new episodes of Glee are aired 2 days after they are aired in the US on their adverts. If that's true, then why can't they do the same with Futurama? I mean the show is still owned by FOX, like Glee.

[#303 :]

Good point, Comedy Central airs the new South Park eps 2 days after they've been on in the US (yes, I always bring that up), if they can do it with the piece of crap that is Glee, they can do it with Futurama.

[#304 :]

I don't know if this is true, but Sky says the new episodes of Glee are aired 2 days after they are aired in the US on their adverts. If that's true, then why can't they do the same with Futurama? I mean the show is still owned by FOX, like Glee.

Same with Modern Family and The Middle

[#305 :]

WHAT?! FUCK YOU SKY, FUCK YOU FUCK FUCK FUCKITY FUCK FUCK FUUUUUUCCCCKKK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK............

[#306 :]

This was my point as well. I'm sure back in the old days there wasn't always a year gap, perhaps a few months, perhaps even less, but not anything like a year. To add to the list of programs Sky showed soon after the US there's LOST, they showed that less than a week after the US on many occasions...

[#307 :]

So I asked @skyhd when are we getting new Futurama, they said:

@DannyJC13 Sorry, we have no information on this, Try our Never Miss to keep up to date http://bit.ly/rfeV7S pb

FFFFUUUUUU

[#308 :]

Still no date for 6A DVD in the UK either is there? I thought now that Sky had shown it they'd try and get it released before Xmas ...

[#309 :]

I'm only slightly worried about a DVD release ATM, I'm guessing they're going for a late November/early December release, in time for Xmas.

[#310 :]

But we even had The Simpsons Season 14 box art months ago and that's still not out yet, plus 6B was announced for US release quite a while ago and that's for only just before Xmas. I'd be quite worried right about now on 6A coming out here before Xmas. It's possible, but those examples don't make the prospect too favourable in terms of genuine likelihood ...

[#311 :]

Ugh thanks for that Otis, now I'm worried and PISSED. But also worried. But still pretty pissed! Can I be both?

[#312 :]

Soz, but the extra years I've lived on this planet have chipped away at my ability to feel hope when a situation looks most likely hopeless. I'm not saying it's not possible, but it would have to be announced very soon if so...

[#313 :]

I really thought the UK was better than this. Just when I was kind of starting to like it here.

[#314 :]

SO CANADA GETS 6A AND 6B AND WE GET NOTHING. FUCK YOU EVERYONE WHO CAUSED THIS. Also, nice one Canada... ¬_¬

The solution here is simple. Let's all move to Canada. I've been trying to convince people that this is a good idea for so long now. PROOF. THERE.

[#315 :]

Plus Canada has Clone High! And Scott Pilgrim lives there!

[#316 :]

But aside from the fact it's really cold, it's basically America's bitch...

[#317 :]

And Scott Pilgrim lives there!

[#318 :]

To be honest I'd rather live in the US rather than Canada- I like the look of cities like San Francisco.

[#319 :]

I want to go to San Francisco, do a road trip of LA, Las Vegas and top it off with San Francisco. That's the plan anyways...
